Then no error was occuring.  The message was successfully being
delivered to the server.  Maybe you simply were not refreshing your
reader?

That makes sense.  Even though the server knows the specific newsgroup
the client is posting to, the message itself still has to specify the
newsgroup(s) as well.

Because NNTP servers require it.

No, it does not.  You know the group you are posting to, so simply
ensure that the group exists in the message header before posting it.
You don't have to verify anything on the server.  And if the group
disappears from the server, its messages disappear with it anyway.
